Teak vs Pharos Library

Teak is a calm place to keep everything that inspires you. Save it in a tap, and find it again the moment you need it. SAVE ANYTHING • Notes, links, images, videos, voice memos, documents, color palettes and quotes • Share from any app straight into Teak, without opening it • Save the page you're reading with the Safari extension • Record a voice memo or snap a photo right from the Add tab • Ask Siri or Shortcuts to "Save to Teak", or start a note from Control Center or the Action button TEAK DOES THE TIDYING • Every card gets tags and a short summary, so you don't have to file anything • Links come with their preview image and title • Pull out a palette and copy any color in one tap FIND IT IN SECONDS • Search everything you've saved • Type "image", "favorites" or "last week" and Teak turns it into a filter • Filter by type, favorites or tag from the menu • Find any card from Spotlight, or search Teak from Shortcuts and file the results into a folder MADE FOR IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC • A masonry grid that shows your ideas the way you saved them • More columns and a details panel on iPad and Mac • On Mac, save from the menu bar, Quick Capture (⌃⌥⌘T) or the Services menu • Light and dark mode, plus haptics on iPhone YOURS, AND PRIVATE • Your library is private to your account • No ads, and your saves are never sold or shared • Deleted cards wait in Trash for 30 days • Delete your account any time from Settings Your library stays in sync with Teak on the web, so your ideas are with you wherever you work. Teak is for designers collecting references, creators keeping ideas in one place, and anyone who wants to remember what caught their eye.

Pharos is your personal knowledge library — a place to track everything you read, listen to, and watch, and to see how it all connects. CAPTURE IN SECONDS Share an article, book cover, or podcast episode screenshot directly to Pharos from any app. It automatically extracts the title, author, and details — no manual typing required. BUILD YOUR LIBRARY Log books, articles, newsletters, podcasts, and more. Rate what you've read, organize with tags, and keep everything in one place instead of scattered across apps and bookmarks. CONNECT YOUR IDEAS Take notes linked directly to your sources. Save quotes, questions, and reactions. Use @mentions to link people and organizations right inside your notes, building a web of connected knowledge instead of a flat list. YOUR ROLODEX Keep track of authors, thinkers, and organizations you encounter in your reading. See everything connected to a person or company in one place. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS See your reading habits over time — what you're reading, how much, and how consistently. Set goals and track your pace. STAY ORGANIZED YOUR WAY Hierarchical tags, custom templates for recurring entries, and series tracking for newsletters and serialized content mean Pharos adapts to how you actually read. WORKS OFFLINE Your library is available even without a connection. Pharos is named after the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria — a beacon that guided sailors safely to shore. Just as the lighthouse guided ships through darkness, Pharos helps you navigate and make sense of everything you read.
